I wish the colors would have photographed better. They are super brilliant but got washed out by my lighting/camera setting.
Fantasy/Fairy tales
Child's Play/Sisters
Dreamers/Adventurers
Love and Romance
Florals (My current favorites!)
Patriotic/Kansas
Valentine/Love
Black and White Tapestry

Brown Monogram
Das Leben Jesu (Jesus is Love)
Religious
Winged Creatures
Believe it or not, there's even more that I haven't photographed! Yes, I am eat, sleep and dreaming these things. I'm working hard to double what I have between now and September 20th at Hillsboro.
I realize that some of you all are going to want one or two of these. Since you might not be able to make it to my shows, and you are my friends (my best and favorite supporters), I'll do anything I can to make you whatever you want. Initially I was making them OOAK but now I've color copied most every design I've made for a few weeks. With the exception of the Jesus pendants, I can pretty much remake any one of these for you.
My plan is to take these and sell them at the shows first. They will sell 3 for $20, mix and match or $8.00 each. After the shows I'll dedicate between Oct 18 and Dec 25 to work on orders from friends and family. I don't plan on listing anything with ETSY before the first of the year. (I will probably begin to list on ETSY again for Valentines Day 2009.) That should give me plenty of time to take good care of you.
Thanks for all of your love and support with this adventure. Many of you know this started with a simple prayer back in 2006. I pray nearly every day that I am using my time and talents to glorify God and bless humanity in the way that He guides me. I pray that I am faithful with the money that returns from these sales and that I will use it in a way that is pleasing to Him. I can hardly wait to meet and connect with more souls this season.

They're stunning, Melanie. I love antique-y things like this.
My new favorites are the Valentine ones! Love that you have the scripture in the background!!
I AM SO GOING SHOPPING AT YOUR HOUSE WHEN I SEE YOU. 6:00 AM YOU SAY! OKAY...NOT A PROBLEM. YOU FREAKING ROCK!
OH MY GOODNESS, I LOVE YOUR STUFF!!!
Oooo there goes my paycheck!!! I'm looking forward to shop for gifts!
yup, i'll need to place several orders as well :).
You have blown me away again! You are so gifted Melanie. Truly blessed! I am going to try my best to get to the Art Fair in September. If I do, I would be more than willing to help you in any way I can. I am just not sure yet if I can get there and if I will bring my kids etc. so I am not sure how much help I will be. I want to go though. I wear one of my bracelets everyday and the necklace a couple times a week. I get compliments and questions every single day I swear! Keep up the wonderful and inspirational work! - Regina
goodness, you've been busy! i really enjoy the dreamers/adventurers and the love and romance. incredible stuff!
Mel, awesome work. They are lovely. I'm back to wearing my bracelets after giving them the summer off.
These are beautiful, melanie. i would use the word "stunning," but that one's already been taken. :) Don't you want to do a show in Kansas City sometime in the near future?
